Doha Humbert Marseille

Ugo Humbert won the ATP 250 tournament in Marseille for the second year running.

However, it was not an easy week for the Frenchman, who has been playing with pain and illness.

In a press conference after his final win, Humbert said he was hesitant to withdraw from the ATP 500 tournament in Doha, where he is entered this week.

He declared: "I think I'm going to withdraw. I don't want to do anything like I did last year, where you just go on and on and then after a while you burn out.

On top of that, I had a sore buttock and I was sick at the beginning of the week. I think I'll talk to my team and maybe skip Doha and get ready for Dubai.

I'm trying not to be as stupid as I was last year (laughs).

It's a pity when you win a title and then immediately throw yourself back into another tournament, because that doesn't happen every week.

I just want to enjoy the next two or three days.
